What are your views on this.
But then this is really mad:
Haven't we all wished for shapelier boobs, a sharper nose or more deep-set eyes?
Jacquelin Koh wanted much more. She wanted to look like the archetypal anime girl ' a heart-shaped face, big sparkling eyes, a small nose and chin, flatter ears, a svelte body and full, ripe breasts.
In her quest, the 29-year-old fashion designer at homegrown fashion boutique The Blog Shop has undergone nine plastic surgery procedures and one correction job.
She still isn't completely satisfied and rates her looks three and a half out of five.
"I'll b perfect five the day I don't need to Photoshop my pictures," she says.
She always touches up her pictures before posting them on her blog at www.jacquelinekoh.com.
She hopes to finally attain "perfection" this March, after she goes for her second correction job with the same Korean surgeon who did her numerous facial operations.
The doctor will making her nose tip even smaller and her chin slightly more V-shaped.
It all started two years ago when she put on 6kg in about a year and a half, even though there was no change in her diet. At 1.6m and 48kg, she says she looked chubby.
She thinks gained weight because "my metabolism was slowing down" and for three months, she ate less and exercised to shed the excess weight.
"I ate one meal a day, worked out on the Stairmas for 15 minutes and did the biceps curl using 1kg dumbbells every day," she says. But she didn't slim down.
Exasperated, she decided to go all out. She wanted not just to lose weight, but also to revamp her entire look.
Improving her appearance was always on her mind, she says. Her weight gain was simply the catalyst.
Though Jacqueline says she's "not an anime fan", she settled on the look of anime girls because "I really like [their] big eyes and small faces," she adds, giggling.
She also wrote a list of all the procedures she wanted to go for to get her ideal look.
Her family and friends had always said she looked perfectly all right, but she felt she was "just average-looking".
She says: "They think I didn't need to go for my operations in first place, but it's a personal choice. It will be enough when I think it's enough."
Did a former verbally and physically abusive relationship that ended in 2004 ' Her World ran a story on it a few years ago ' have anything to do with her extreme makeover?
Jacqueline vehemently says no. "I had all the procedures done for myself."

gone from looking like a thai servant to looking like a freak. what a change.
this really is ridiculous. Not being an anime fan, psshhh.
For children born with cleft lips, victims of burns, chemicals and accidents, reconstructive surgery is like a boon. Even nose jobs or breast reductions (yes it takes place) that appear frivolous can have minor physical benefits like better respiration or less stress on the spine.
I personally find plastic surgery, other than ones discussed above, to be vain, pointless, frivolous and a waste of time and money. However, I do believe that people have a right over their bodies, their money and they have every right to make whatever decision that they wish to. I believe in accepting choices people make for themselves.

That reminds me, what about modifying oneself to look like a pug? I know of some people who modified themselves to look like animals.
